Why S3 so slow?

My phone doubled in speed after adding the ext sd card. I only had 2gb free prior and it slowed it down way more than I expected.

S3 on Sprint - 16gb pebble blue + 64
 
yeah 0.5 is perfect i think. i tried it set to zero for a while and although its faster, u end up missin the smoothness :)

I'm running with both set to off.
If I notice problems, I'll try the .5 as suggested.

Thx

Yes, exactly. That's why I was surprised. But it was unmistakably more responsive to everything. Moved all camera and music storage freeing up over half the internal storage. It reminded me of before/after defragmenting a hd that is way fragmented. And I know that's not the same mechanical seek time issue on a SS drive, but it was like that. Oh well, no complaints, I'll take it.

No problems with that, I've been set to off for like a month now with no issues whatsoever. I personally prefer instant response over nice animated fade in's/out's and all that jazz :p

according to my experience, the slow reason may be caused by many factors, but the most possible problem is digitizer screen or the phone system, you should check the phone in the two sides.:'(
 
+1 for no animation.

I now retract my "slow comment" - feels zippier !!!

My Quadrant results: SIII international no rooting, rebooted with just Wifi turned on:
Total 3469. CPU 8476, Mem 2697, I/O 3893, 2D 654, 3D 1624

How does that compare with others? Seems low to me (from previous post in this thread)

EDIT - Turned animation off: Got this:

Total 3851. CPU 9053, Mem 2985, I/O 5213, 2D 667, 3D 1339

Large difference is CPU and I/O. Weird.

This may seem like a stupid question but you're remembering to clear the ram right? Did you turn the home lag off (where you can double tap and svoice won't pop up)?
 
Damn, I get like 4740 or something about there with a fresh boot and nothing else really running outside of system stuff (ie. no push email or widgets or anything). Still a great score nonetheless.

yeah the dual core is a bit lower on quadrant mate but prob beats the quad core on other tests with its 2gb ram
 
How do you turn the home lag off?

click svoice then press the menu button. Go to the settings. I'm not sure what is called but you should see something like double tap home button. Uncheck it.now your phone go to the home screen faster
 
I have a quick question. How do you overclock the CPU?

u have to root the phone and flash a rom with a "kernal" that can be clocked. i had a zte blade, ?100 phone (about $150?) which was really crap out of the box but in like 10mins u could carrier unlock it for free, root and custom rom it without a computer, then overclock it to 729mh and it felt like a phone 3times the price. legendary phone :)
 
click svoice then press the menu button. Go to the settings. I'm not sure what is called but you should see something like double tap home button. Uncheck it.now your phone go to the home screen faster

yeah thats a +1 tip if u dont use svoice :)
